Start School Later group presents to RSU 23 board; follow‑up session planned
Summary
Members of the Saco Chapter of Start School Later presented to the RSU 23 board on Nov. 10, 2015, urging consideration of later high‑school start times; Superintendent Lloyd Crocker suggested a follow‑up presentation with broader public Q&A.
Members of the Saco Chapter of Start School Later presented their proposal for later high‑school start times to the RSU 23 school board during its Nov. 10 meeting at Old Orchard Beach Town Hall. The group outlined their case for shifting secondary‑school schedules to better align with adolescent sleep patterns and asked the board to consider next steps.
Superintendent Lloyd Crocker said the district would schedule a follow‑up presentation so more community members could attend and ask questions, indicating the board is open to further public engagement on the topic. The board moved the presentations on the agenda to allow Public Session to follow the Start School Later presentation in case attendees had questions related to the material.
No formal action or vote on changing start times was taken at the meeting. Board members and district staff indicated that additional public input and a more detailed forum would be needed before any policy or schedule changes could be proposed.
The presentation is available on the district website (meeting videos), and the board suggested organizing an expanded follow‑up session to allow broader community participation.
